Yew in Australia
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: Yew in Australia
Thanks Antonio I will keep a look out but I do wonder if I need another species of tree that has what seems to be a new set of horticulture techniques to make it prosper.
Got a picture Asus or a size? where did you get it from?

Re: Yew in Australia
its a few feet tall, about 20 years old, needs a repot.
Young and hostile but not stupid.

Re: Yew in Australia

Re: Yew in Australia
It was just an old nursery tree they had hidden behind a tree. I found it walking past the fence on my way to the car. it had no tag no price so she gave it to me for $15. It was near dead, and has gained strength. There is nothing special about it.

Re: Yew in Australia
I dug an English Yew from a demolition site last summer...Showed no signs of stress after the dig...cut it back hard and it reshot all over the trunk within weeks... Photos to come
